Side by side

How Beanstalk Marketing works for buyers

Beanstalk explicitly addresses companies with complex solutions and other B2B propositions. That makes it a sensible candidate when your buying decision starts with how an agency will explain a technical or unfamiliar offer. Ask the team to describe your buyer's problem in plain language before discussing campaign volume. You should be able to recognise your customer's priorities in that explanation.

Its telemarketing campaign article describes a pilot lasting three to six months, with the cost depending on the resources dedicated to the work. Build your evaluation around that resource question. Ask what time is allocated to your account, which audience receives attention first and how you will assess progress through a longer sales cycle.

Beanstalk also invites buyers to request a quote tailored to their business. Bring a specific brief: target accounts, buyer roles, the problem you solve and the next step your sales team can support. Use our guide to evaluating a lead generation agency to organise the questions you ask each provider.

How Modern Inbound works for buyers

Modern Inbound provides done-for-you cold email for B2B teams and bills quarterly. It runs the copy and targeting, making it a fit for teams that want an agency to execute that work. Your decision should therefore include how much internal time you want to devote to outbound execution.

Mailboxes and domains are bought in the client's name, and the first 14 days are a free warm-up. Modern Inbound tests 50 to 100 messaging angles each month. Before starting, decide which buyer groups matter most and what information your team needs when an interested prospect reaches you. Our cold email targeting guide can help structure that preparation.

A warm lead is a reply from a real potential buyer, or a route to one, showing interest and a clear next step. Modern Inbound hands over each warm lead as an introduction, with no fixed number of leads. Put someone in charge of taking those introductions forward so that the handover has a clear destination inside your team.

Choosing between them

Choose Beanstalk if telemarketing is central to your brief and you are prepared to evaluate a pilot over several months. Give it a real opportunity to explain how it would approach your proposition. For a complex sale, ask what a prospect needs to understand before your salesperson takes over and what can wait until that later discussion.

Choose Modern Inbound if your priority is managed cold email with copy and targeting handled for you. Make the decision around the channel you want to run, the responsibilities you want to delegate and your team's readiness to take warm introductions forward. Our comparison of cold email, LinkedIn and calls provides a useful framework for that channel decision.

You can consider both providers within a broader acquisition plan. Start with a clearly defined audience and assign distinct responsibilities before adding another channel. Keep account ownership clear, avoid overlapping outreach and assess each provider against the work you hired it to do. Adding providers should make responsibility easier to trace.
